That's a win now team, has every component needed to contend would likely be the number one overall defense in the league and has fire power on the offensive end with George, Leonard, Lou being able to give you 20 points a night each.![]()
What
The only trade happening between the 76ers and the Spurs is when we give them Patty Mills and a 2nd rounder for their second rounder so we can make room for Derrick White next year...
Boston and whoever gets the number 1 or 2 pick are the only teams that can offer things that you just can't turn down for Kawhi...Boston with Tatum / Brown / draft pick and whoever gets the 1st or 2nd pick...Kawhi and the spurs first for that pick and the spurs draft Ayton or Bamba...
if they trade Kawhi they are going to trade for players who fit with Dejounte and the 76ers sure as shyt don't have any players like that outside of Embiid...and I got to see him play a full season healthy first...
Maybe the lakers with Kuzma and Ingram...but I'm not really sold on Ingram and pop likes them thick at the 3 or the 4:chattyguurrrlll:
All these nikkas play the same position![]()
kawhi for wall.
Paul George for Otto
Barnes for Beal ( or we retain)
Lebron sees this and moves to the west cause he doesnt want those problems trying to score on them
Or beal and porter for disgruntled kawhi and expiring PG13
Ballmer is a piece of shyt and so is RiversI didn't even mention that Ballmer is the most passionate owner in the league and Rivers is a premier coach.
Trade Kuzma, Ingram and some fillers for Kawhi
Sign PG
Resign Randle
Zo
Curious George
Kawhi
Randle
Dwayne Dedmond
But if we can somehow keep BI tho....
Find me a team that can offer a better package and I'll find you a liar
The Sixers have the lottery pick you're attributing to the Celtics and the C's aren't trading Brown/Tatum for a SF with a player option. The only way Tatum or Brown get moved at this point are for Anthony Davis, not a player that plays the same position as them.
If it comes out that he wants out be prepared for offers that will make youtoo.
They would just move him or Gordon to the 2...
Kawhi, Kyrie, and Gordon would rule the east as long as they were together...you can punch the celtics ticket to the nba finals from next year until....
and eventually they going to lose Tatum or Brown for nothing anyway as they come up on new contracts...might as well get a MVP caliber player for them now...
This isn't like trading for Boogie or even trading for Kyrie...this is trading for a guy who was considered the "best two way player in the league" which to me seems like the best player in the league...so teams are going to bust it open...
Now if it comes out that his condition is degenerative and the real reason he won't play is because once he does people can see howhe looks then yeah...at that point you going to be getting the oladipo's of the world for him...
The Sixers having that lakers pick aint enough...they would have to do that pick and embiid for Kawhi and neither team is going to do that...
Wall on the Spurs ?
Kawhi needs to join the Lakers... it's only right![]()
Kevin Durant Believes Kawhi Leonard Is Product of Spurs SystemWhen did Durant and Penny throw shots at Kawhi?
But the internet shrunk the world and stuffIt's not about becoming a star. It's about maximizing your brand. Kawhi's brand and buzz increases the minute he steps foot in LA as a Clippers player. Kawhi's jersey sales would be top 5 in LA. It's not only about endorsements but also connections. Andre Iguodala since joining the Warriors has become a techie and venture capitalist from networking with Silicon Valley investors.
Carmelo Anthony became a hell of a businessman in his Knicks tenure, venture capital, wine, sneakers and apparel, tech investments, media, collaborations, reality TV, even had his kid modeling in Sean John. He was a star in Denver, but in New York he maximized his brand, diversified his portfolio, and enjoyed a better quality of life and a bit of a homecoming. That's a glimpse of how things could be for Kawhi.
